I love Junker Jane's work as well and have also blogged about her work. I love that you have taken the time to not only blog about the theft of her vision but that you sent an email to the offenders.
Being a doll artist myself, even when you are told that imitation is the greatest form of flattery, nothing can be as infuriating as someone obviously highjacking your style and trying to pass it off as their own... especially without proper credit to the inspiration. I applaud your passion about this and am off to write an email to these people as well.
Thank you for you, Rot! And Jane, keep up the great work! We love your style and know where it originated.

With all my respect for your work, skill, talent, and wishes, I feel that I must state a disagreement. Aside from the inherently relativistic nature of morality and wrongness, I think you are being too hard on people who make derivative works, and even try to profit from them.
Strictly speaking, this cannot be considered theft. In a theft, the original subject is physically removed from the custody of the owner.
What they are doing is creating copy-cat works, derivative works. I can't consider this wrong, competition creates an imperative for quality. It forces the inventor and the copy cat to improve their works. Also, If you notice, in many cases these copy cats offer their work at a lower price, which gives poorer people an opportunity to own pieces they otherwise couldn't afford. I noticed that this was the case with the shop that was doing copy-cat versions of your work.
I am completely sympathetic with the wish to have your work respected, but I feel that, ultimately, the market implications are too important to ignore, and too significant to blanketed with a moral generalization.

And I'm going to have to disagree. We're not talking about two artists dealing with similar subject matters - plush dolls. We're dealing with two artists who clearly have taken an idea that would not have existed otherwise had they not stumbled upon Junker Jane's site/shop. It's a matter of morality. And integrity. I will never be ok with derivative works that clearly and blatantly are profiting off of someone else's creativity and hard work and sweat. And I really can't even force myself to see how anyone else could.
Is it legal? Sure.
Is it morally right? Absolutely not.
If they're making them for their kids - great.
If they're making them for customers - terrible.
And it's certainly a case of theft. Intellectual property rights are all about the lifting of intangible notions of designs and ideas. Copyrights exist to protect theft of the non-physical. So I really don't need to steal one of Junker Jane's dolls from her home to truly rip her off.
It comes down to the source material. Why are those people making dolls that look so incredibly similar to Junker Jane's? Competition is a beautiful thing. Let the plush doll wars begin. But make sure it's an idea that's entirely yours. It's the right thing to do.

While I was getting ready to post my disagreement with what Mantan Calaveras said, Mr. Rot beat me to it. So, I'll just say this: "Yeah, what Mr. Rot said"!
If you want to copy someone else's style for yourself, have at it ... but passing it off as your own and for less $$$ ... IS theft.
I'm just glad nothing I make is nearly as cool or posted online for someone else to "copy"!
Thanks for keeping it real!

I LOVE Junker Jane's creations! I know of 2 more shops on etsy that are passing their designs off as their own - LorriMarie & ARTOFME. I would never buy from them. Ever.

I'm a little troubled by the notion that it's providing a service to poorer people if a design or item is copied and provided at lower prices, as if this makes the whole thing morally upstanding.
Many artsits spend years and years developing their work and crafts before they become marketable and before they're able to actually turn a profit selling their art. So to refine and redesign artwork over a long period only to have someone else take your finished product design and sell something similar and cheeper, cutting into your profits and making all of your invested time and effort not as fruitful is pretty depressing.

Those "knock offs" look like they were just thrown together,no time spent on them and have no color....very bland.
Junker Jane's work has that feeling that time and thought was spent on them, plain and simple talent.
Keep up the good work Junker Jane and don't let these "knock offs" ruin your mood.

Be careful not to assign malice where ignorance will do. I have seen this style of doll many times over the last few years, from many sources. I was completely unaware of Junker Jane's (amazing!) work until now. The artists mentioned may have seen the style in a dozen places, and just decided to try it out. Or it may be intentional theft. Honestly, I'd lean mostly toward the former. Doesn't make it right, or less derivative, but certainly more excusable.

my dear friend rot,

I agree with Frykitty. These things are everywhere. It's kind of like you Rot, with all due respect, saying that you invented the witch jars. Are you telling me that no one, absolutely not one single soul ever thought to put blood in jars before? It's too difficult to really claim these artistic variations as one's own these days.
- March 22, 2010 at 11:21 PM
- Rot said...
Really don't see the controversy.
If these people come back to me saying "Hey look! I've been making these things for years! The patch eye with a cross over it and the body shape that is exactly like Junker Jane's was purely coincidental!" then it's a matter of coincidence. But both of these artists' work seems to have sprung up in the last couple of months. The one CLEARLY had a different style a year ago, a dramatically different style.
And both of these artists have failed to email me back (mind you it wasn't a rude email in the least). I'm not about rude and I'm all about fair and giving someone a chance.
Regarding the Witch Jars. I certainly didn't invent sticking a candle in a mason jar, but I'd like to take credit for dirtying up a mason jar with blood, and gross bits, and pieces of creepy cloth, and hanging them from a tree branch as though a creepy dirty witch created these things out of hate and pure evil. When it came to creating them, I didn't look around on the internet to rip off anyone else's ideas. I had a vision, a concept, and executed it. And it seemed to become very popular. If someone makes them for their own haunt - great. I love that so much. If someone makes them to sell them - lame. Sure it's legal, but that doesn't make it ok from an integrity point of view. Not in the least. I'm very satisfied that my entire being is against that kind of behavior. I'll sell my own ideas. It just feels right.
I really can't see how this post on artistic integrity is in any way offensive or filled with controversy. If you're an artist falsley accused of ripping off someone else's ideas, shoot me an email. If you're an artist who sticks to your own ideas and enjoys cultivating your own concepts and style, I have a feeling you'll be perfectly fine with what I've written.

Mr.Rot, that was very well put. If somebody thought of any of those things that you,Bean,Junker Jane or anybody else sell, and they thought you copied off of them to make a quick buck or whatever, then you would want them to tell you right away. And if those accused of the copying know that they did not do it, they would respond to your email and say so.

Dont get me started Rot. I have the same frustration with people who cut in line. What gives? Who are these people?.Does the world revolve around them? Its okay nobody will notice that I walk pass all these people and stand right here. What possible rationalization can they give me for their actions. Some will look at you and say...I didnt realize or I thought this was ANOTHER line....Come on pay attention. Be aware of your surroundings. Really?
At the same time there are the people WHO let them cut in line and not say anything. Whats the difference its all the same bus they say. Dont worry you'll get a seat. Thats NOT the point.
Back of the line buddy!!

I was pointed to this blog a while ago by a friend a I love what you're doing - fantastic work.
As a casual reader, and someone who is not a visual artist, but a writer - I am still sickened by the blatant rip-off of someone else's hard work, ideas, and even a piece of their soul. Now I know that sounds dramatic, but anyone who has worked hard and long (TWSS) at any creative endeavor knows that there is a deep connection to your own identity - to what makes you you - in every piece. That's what makes this argument so personal and so divisive. It's not just a product. It's not just pieces of cloth and string. It's maybe 10 half-remembered incidents of childhood all mixed together with years of obsessions and emotions, then tumbled in the sub-conscious and coated with the ambient noise of life until an idea is birthed in an often-painful splurt of creativity. And then, AND THEN refined and shaped and perfected over time, maybe even years. To take that deeply personal piece of art and bastardize it then sell it as your own is an act of shocking narcissism. These people should be ashamed of themselves.

My friend at http://ballisticdesigns.com/ actually found a direct rip-off of his site design in Russian, down to the exact same flying hummingbird design he has flitting about the page. I can only guess that the wording was exactly the same, but in that language. My friend is a web designer, and sent me the email that said he guessed he had business in Russia and didn't know it. He somehow contacted them and they since removed the design, but still, it's contemtible behavior.
I guess the down side of the internet is that others images are so available for intentional or unintentional copying, and that anyone with art has to continuously invent something new and different to stay in front of the pack of imitators. It's exhausting!

I am highly doubting that these alleged "imitators" tuck tail and remove their copied works once the so-called original artist casually confronts them online. It's too difficult proving who had it first, and frankly, how is the artist so sure that they weren't subconsciously inspired by something they saw once before? This moral outrage everyone is feeling is really ridiculous. EVERYTHING is a rip-off or a twist of something else and every artist has been inspired, inadvertently or otherwise by something or someone else.
And Rot, for you to drag out the witch jar artistic process to make it seem as personally-creative/inventive and tasking as you did is really bothersome because let's face it, it's not that ground-breaking of an idea. Nor are any of Junker Jane's dolls.

"EVERYTHING is a rip-off or a twist of something else and every artist has been inspired, inadvertently or otherwise by something or someone else." Wow. That's some statement. A very uncreative one. A defeatist one. And I respect your opinion. I just don't live by it.
The heart of the matter is intent. If those artists were aware of Junker Jane's works and decided to copy her style (and I'm completely suggesting that's what happened), then I have a problem with that - from a moral perspective. I guess in the absence of a reply to my emails, I'm going to have to assume I'm correct in my accusations.
I will continue to be shocked at how someone can alter a piece of art just enough to avoid exact copying and any legal implications. It's certainly not creative. How can that provide satisfaction? Or pride? How can those people be excited when they make a sale?
And regarding my Witch Jars, it's all about pride. I love those things. The idea popped in my mind during a trip to a craft store and not a trip to someone's blog. I never claimed they were elaborate, but a lot of the cooler props in Halloween yard haunting rarely are. The organic simple ones are what it's all about.
The IDEA of the jars and the fact that I didn't pluck that idea from someone else is what makes them so special to me. But that's a matter of pride and a matter of passion. Two things that are at the heart of artistic integrity. And two things that have nothing to do with that quote at the top of this reply.

You and I can agree that "the heart of the matter is intent." I however do not feel that there was any malicious intent on the part of these artists and particularly do not feel that you've proven that there was. And frankly for you to send all of your ego-stroking minions, ahem I mean blog followers, to prod and harass these imitators, including the woman that allegedly stole your beloved witch jar idea is incredibly lame of you. Are you some kind of internet bully?
I admit, I've been a fan of this website for quite some time, and you do strike me as a very creative type, something that I have never once claimed in my life to be, so sure, I'll accept the defeatist title, because I'm not now nor have ever been an artist. I do respect most of your work and your vision and your every day is Halloween blog is phenomenal. That said, I bit my tongue when you lambasted the shit out of that witch jar "copy cat." I just think that you've crossed a line. You're quite rude to people that you just assumed stole ideas. You don't know these people or their motivations. Perhaps they too are quite prideful in their creations and you are just tormenting them and to top it off, you turn your followers against them as well by providing direct links. Essentially, "look everyone! Check out this link! This person is a dirty, no-good, rotten thief, let em have it!" Why can't you just voice your opinion and leave the innocent-until-proven guilty perpetrators' personal info out of it? Write them private emails rather than telling the whole world how "tough" you are and that you showed them. And perhaps they never responded to your nasty-gram emails because they feel no need to defend themselves or their artwork from your preposterous accusations.
You should have just penned yet- another post about artistic integrity. Instead your morally-abusive inner policeman has come out to very publicly identify and humiliate potentially innocent people or coincidental artists. You're using your site as a virtual witch hunt, and that Rot, I cannot respect.

I disagree and don't see my accusations as "preposterous accusations." My blog is a place for me to share artists' works and my own works. And a place to share my opinions on certain topics. I'm pretty passionate when it comes to artistic integrity. I'm going to call it as I see it - when I see it. That Witch Jar incident represented a problem I see all over the internet. Not being a policeman. Just expressing my opinion about something that's very VERY important to me. I present all the facts to a situation and leave it up to the reader to form an opinion.
I don't think of myself as an internet bully commanding a lynch mob. I think I've been really fair to a lot of artists and have received a bunch of emails thanking me for spreading their work around to the Haunt community. And I've formed some nice e-friendships as a result of it too.
If someone is going to take credit for someone else's work, then they better be ready to be called out on it.

I applaud you for your admiration and dedication to support another artist but you are way off base here.
Your entire argument is fueled by the assumption that these individuals were not only aware of Junker Jane but had intentionally built their work modeled after hers for profit.
You slander and label these individuals of "ripping off", "theft" and "immoral acts" with little to back it.
Etsy boasts over 216,000 sellers. Do you think it's really that difficult to find overlapping style in the work from one seller to the next? How could you possibly even begin to know what fuels the creative process for anyone.
And for the record, exactly what authority are you? Why do you feel entitled to an explanation after you attack these individuals on your blog? If anything you owe then an apology.
It would be quite naive to believe theft of creative work doesn't happen. If you choose to make such accusations in a public manner such as this, you better have some strong evidence to support it. In this case you certainly don't.

Like I and others have said, if they were not copying or ripping off somebody elses idea, then they would of sent you an email right back explaining themselves. I know I would of. They could at least put on their shop saying that what they are selling is their on take of this product....and give credit to the original piece.

My personal opinion is that these artist's have created a style based on Junker Jane's work. I presented links to back it up. To me, the similarities are enough evidence to make the accusations. Overlapping styles certainly can happen, but I've pointed out why I feel the way I do.
I totally don't feel like the artistic integrity King. But when I stumble upon something that I see as an offense, I'm going to expose it. With all the facts I can offer.

@Jay's Shadow
"Like I and others have said, if they were not copying or ripping off somebody elses idea, then they would of sent you an email right back explaining themselves. I know I would of."
I don't think it's really that cut and dry. Mr. Rot sent a rather unpleasant message to at least one of the individuals referenced here. Couple that with he's encouraged his audience to harass them as well and I don't know how you can expect any one to respond in kind. Had his approach been a bit more tactful I'm sure he could have invoked some dialog with these individuals.
@Jay's Shadow
"They could at least put on their shop saying that what they are selling is their on take of this product....and give credit to the original piece."
How can anyone even make that assumption that the work of these individuals was based on Junker Jane?

Pumpkinrot provided evidence on the subject matter and gave his opinion. The followers of his blog viewed what was posted and made their own decision if they agreed if it was a copy or not. For the time I have been following pumpkinrot's blog I have NEVER seen any kind of bullying from him. If anybody disagreed with what was posted they would say so and he would "agree to disagree".

Yeah, obviously it's by the way you post the links to their pages and just above those links you write "And I love that these people are getting notified of their immoral acts. I happily fired off some emails to these folks letting them know how I feel about this sort of thing. And letting them know we're all watching."
You really get off being "moral" person, not to mention humiliating these people, don't you?

I really don't get off on my posts discussing integrity. That's the honest truth.
And I really didn't expect my readers to go harass these people. That's the honest truth. And that's not an apology for anyone that DID send an email to these artists.
Whenever a news article is written or an editorial published, is it assumed the author is trying to rally some form of mob in their favor to go do their bidding? When I read an article or an editorial, I make up my own mind about how I feel about what was presented based on what was presented and how it was presented. The author is informing his audience with both facts and opinions.
If readers of this post clicked on those links and saw no similarities between those dolls, then I gave free advertisement.
If they clicked on the link and saw someone borrowing someone else's ideas to make some cash, then I helped expose a very common problem affecting a ton of artists.

Well my final note is that you were out of line. I hope that in the future, you have better judgment and application when it comes to this issue. You are wrong to so publicly address people that apparently piss you off, hence why I chose to stay anonymous. Also, there are at least a couple (if not more) different people operating under "anonymous," and I can not take credit for all of those comments (oooh, look, I learned about "integrity" and sourcing from you!) Also, I'm not one of the "Lame" or "Lamer" persons you chose to attack, nor do I know any of them. The one thing I know is that you and I cannot convince each other of what we each believe, period. I can say "let's agree to disagree," but ultimately please know that I found your original post to be unwarranted, ignorant, and you really come off like a royal jerk. Take something from that and hopefully it will keep you from pointlessly attacking others in the future. After all, your "persuasive emails" didn't encourage these people to take their wares offline, did it? So your message is moot, as is your judgment.

Your opinion is noted.
But I really can't promise to be ignorant to this sort of thing. I've been emailed quite often by concerned readers who have found artists using my photos in their artwork for sale. And many times they inform me that they have emailed those artists. I wouldn't want them to remain silent for fear of offending those artists. I'm grateful for the many eyes out there.

I get that, I really do. As a person that is not an artist, I am sorry that happens to you and your fellow creators. I'm just asking that we just don't jump to conclusions and start assembling torch-wielding mobs to confront people suspected of stealing. Write personal emails first. If your hunch proves to be correct, then publicly decry them. I'm just asking that you approach with caution next time. As I said before, I'm a fan, truly. But I also can't sit here while other people are being negatively talked about without grounds, and I know you'd want me in your corner if I ever caught someone saying or posting something disparaging about you.

Opinions are the stock and trade of the blogosphere. Seeing the author of a blog getting called out on his authority to say something is kind of funny to me. "Justify your opinion!"
Justify which flavor of ice cream is best.
I find it interesting that one of the main points of Anonymous' arguments (and forgive me if that is actually more than one person--I suspect it's only one but admit it's hard to tell) is the perception that the readers of this blog are unified as if by some kind of cause. Blogs are--almost without exception--editorial in nature. They represent the opinions of an individual or small group. It follows naturally that the readers of that blog are likely to either share similar views or enjoy debating opposing views.
What Anonymous is characterizing as someone abusing their "web cred" by pointing his finger and giving the command to attack is really just a matter of a group of like-minded people having a predictably like-minded response to a controversial topic. A topic, I might add, that weighs pretty heavily on the minds of the creative community, especially those of us who rely on our art to pay the bills.
I could easily be characterized as one of those "ego-stroking minions" that Anonymous mentioned. I comment here often and Rot and I have exchanged posts, links, etc. and even collaborated on stuff. Let me assure anyone reading this that, even though I am a fan of Rot's work and consider him a personal friend, if I thought he was wrong or out of line about something I would have NO problem saying so. I'm an opinionated jerk.
My opinion is that I don't think Rot has done anything wrong here. I think he's well within his right to call someone out just by virtue of the fact that these works are out on the Internet for all the world to see and, therefore, are subject to the scrutiny and opinions of anyone who happens by. If readers of his blog then read and reflect (or oppose) those opinions, then so be it. That's just how the whole thing works. If you don't want your work criticized then don't put it where people will see it and react to it. It's really as simple as that. This comment thread is a shining example of this principle in action. The engine runs on opinions.
So, that's my response to the whole "you guys are mindless sheep doing Pumpkinrot's bidding and he's an ass for having strong opinions" part of this.
My reaction to the dolls is...well, honestly, my reaction is not so strong. I see a pretty wide gap in quality, character and general coolness between Junker Jane and her apparent imitators. I think those other ones look like what they are: cheap knockoffs. Whatever. I don't buy dolls. I appreciate the larger, more important argument of artistic integrity but I think the actual objects themselves are less threatening because they actually do look inferior to me. The *idea* of imitation (and, especially, profiting from it) is annoying and lame but maybe my jaded nature is getting the best of me here. I think the product speaks for its ugly self. If I were doing a search for creepy dolls on Etsy and those examples came up alongside Junker Jane's, I know which ones I'd pick.
Maybe I'm copping out but it seems to me the imitators out there are too many to fight, so I have to hope that better judgment will prevail and their crap will be passed over in favor of people who actually do the hard work of creating something original. It's a dim hope but it keeps me from climbing the clock tower with a scoped rifle. It also leaves me more time to make stuff.

hmmm. I dont know where to begin.. Let me start by introducing myself. I'm Jen and my etsy shop is ARTOFME. I have been a big fan of primitve dolls since I was a small child. A few years back my mom suggested that I start making some of own. Seeing that I live everyday like it's Halloween I had an idea to make primitive monster dolls. I made one and fell in love with it. My friends seen it and "had to have one." So I started make them. I began to feel very proud of my doll making. So much could be done with these dolls. So many ideas. Right? Well, then last year I came across etsy and decided to sell my dolls there. After about a couple months I received a very hurtful email from this "Junker Jane" person, accusing me of ripping off her style. I went to her shop to take a look and Yeah they are simliar...but I attribute that to the fact they are primitive dolls and we happen to have alot in common creativily speaking. You say that these copycats are stealing Junker Jane's doll's body shapes? Come on now.. These dolls have a front and back that are sewn together. There really aren't any features accept for what you personally sew on them and embellish them with. Junker Jane and I couldv'e been friends and been fans of eachother's artwork like any other artist. But she chose to make hurtful comments about my hard work. To top it off, I got an email from you that was sooo off the top hurtful that it ruined my weekend. You dont know me, you dont know my style or my inspirations. You dont know anything! What you have done is make these artist including Myself feel like we create garbage. I'm not speaking for everyone but, I have not ever copied anyone. I am an individual who works hard at creating something that I love! What a piece of work you are. I cant believe anyone would want to follow such a jerk! You and Junker Jane owe me an appology. Not because you dont like my dolls but because you're wrong to accuse me of being a copycat.

You probably should go back and read that post all the way through. And the comments. I reached out to the guy regarding his shop's similarities to mine and he apologized in an email and removed the items and descriptions that were blatant rip-offs - doorhangers and mini-pumpkins with wooden stems. He's now selling skulls and luminaries and groundbreakers and cool carved pumpkins. The shop has his own voice and style now.
There wasn't a need to go any further. He had pride in his own style and developed his own products. I respect what he did.

They have a shop set up on etsy with nothing in it and no previous sales. So it leads me to believe that it's someone who has a second shop set up just to harrass people. When I told them that they shouldn't judge me because they dont make anything, they replied "Oh.. are you sure? Little do you know." I thought that was super cowardly. This person can write such a mean critique of my work and really hurt me but I cannot go to their shop and see what they create? How fair is that. Hiding behind a another name is cowardess! So, whoever SPROUTSOUP is, I'd just like to say "You're a real piece of work!"

One Response to "The Motivated Situation of Morality"
July 16, 2008 at 12:56 pm
Wait – are we saying that giving someone else a difficult task is as immoral as beating a child? I'm sure there is something to this….maybe if an abusive parent saw someone else abusing a child, they would be more angry at the other abuser. But then again, maybe not. Maybe they would conjure up an excuse for other parents to beat their child. This experiment seems a bit inconclusive on the morality point. Giving someone a challenging task is hardly as immoral as other cruel acts.

When he and his staff clean up the ferry boat at the end of the day, Capt. Mike Muia, a 15-year veteran of New York Waterways, usually finds things that people leave behind.
Generally, staff that work for NY Waterways set these things aside in the lost and found. For Muia, this is not enough – especially when it is something valuable.
"Sometimes people don't even know where they lost it, and so wouldn't know to check lost and found," he said.
Where possible, Muia makes a point of reaching out to the people who lost something valuable. This was the case just prior to Christmas when he found a wallet.
CBS Evening News Director Eric Shapiro and his wife Anne, a retired stockbroker, had taken a late ferry home from Manhattan on Dec. 17 and walked to their Weehawken home from the terminal.
"I was watching the news when there was a knock at my door. It must have been 12:30," Shapiro said. "The ferry captain asked, 'Did you lose a wallet?' It was my wife's wallet. We didn't even realize it was missing."
"If it's a wallet, then I look for an address." – Capt. Mike Muia
For Muia, who lives in Rutherford but was born and raised in Jersey City, returning lost items was nothing new – nor even the most dramatic of heroic events he had performed over the years.
He and his crew had helped rescue thousands of people from Lower Manhattan in the aftermath of the attacks on the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001.
Two years later, during the regional power outage that left much of the Northeast in the dark, he and his crew did the same thing, ferrying people out of the dark of Manhattan to the relative safety on the Jersey side when nearly all of the crossings were snarled with traffic or closed.
He shrugged off this latest act of kindness as routine.
"I've done this a few times when I find a wallet or a cell phone," Muia said. "Deckhand Nestor Martinez found the wallet. I looked at her driver's license and saw the address and figured it was worth a shot. It's more convenient than the customer coming in to lost and found."
The crew usually checks the ferry before going off duty, and since he saw he could get to the Weehawken residents on his way home, he figured he would.
"I noticed they lived close. So I stopped there on my way home," he said.
Although ferry service runs from various points from Weehawken, Jersey City, and Hoboken to landings in Manhattan, his ferry goes from Weehawken to Pier 79 on the West Side of Manhattan.
He said he delivers lost things as often as possible.
"If it's a wallet, then I look for an address," he said. "If I can't deliver it, I mail it."
Sometimes he finds no identification, but he can often figure out the owner of a lost cell phone by calling a number on the phone. Sometimes, he tracks down the owner when he finds a receipt from a store.
"Capt. Mike Muia performed once again in the highest traditions of customer service which we emphasize at NY Waterway," said President & Founder Arthur E. Imperatore.
Muia said the credit goes to the company and its founder.
"Mr. Imperatore taught us well," he said.

The Washington Nationals wrapped up their homestand and their annual Christmas in July event on Sunday at Nationals Park, with the U.S. Marines Corps Reserves on hand all weekend collecting toys for the Toys for Tots Foundation.
Teddy Roosevelt appeared to have a gift in store for his fans as well, bolting out of the centerfield gate for the 4th inning presidents race, and staking a huge lead while wearing a Santa hat.
But Teddy failed to deliver the gift of victory, instead stopping along the first baseline to pass out presents for fans in the stands. He never finished the race.
George Washington surprised the field by winning his third race in a row, ensuring that the fellow racing presidents Thomas Jefferson and Abe Lincoln will remain deadlocked atop the Nationals presidents race standings through the All Star break and the road trip that follows.

NEW YORK (AP) – A full postseason share for the World Series champion San Francisco Giants was worth a record $377,003, breaking the mark that had stood since the 2006 St. Louis Cardinals.
In the first year of the expansion of the playoffs from eight teams to 10, the players' pool was a record $65.36 million, Major League Baseball said Monday. The previous mark of $59.1 million came in 2009.
The Giants split $23.5 million, voting 50 full shares, partial shares equivalent to another 11.1, and 12 cash awards. All-Star outfielder Melky Cabrera, suspended for the final 45 games of the regular season and the division series, automatically received a full share without his teammates having to make a decision.
Under baseball's joint drug agreement, he was eligible for his share because his suspension ended in time for him to be on the active roster for a majority of the Giants' postseason games, even though San Francisco decided not to use him. Under Major League Rule 45, he gets a full share because he was with the team from June 1 on.
Cabrera, the All-Star game MVP, became a free agent last week and agreed to a $16 million, two-year contract with Toronto.
San Francisco's full share was up from $323,170 for the 2011 champion Cardinals and $317,631 on the 2010 Giants.
A full share on the AL champion Tigers was worth $284,275, up from $251,516 for last year's Texas Rangers.
The players' pool included 50 percent of the gate receipts from the two wild card games, and 60 percent from the first three games of each division series and the first four games of each league championship series and the World Series.
Full shares were worth $122,558 for the Cardinals, $115,065 for the New York Yankees, $37,865 for the Cincinnati Reds, $37,045 for the Washington Nationals, $34,826 for the Baltimore Orioles, $34,325 for the Oakland Athletics, $19,609 for the Atlanta Braves and $16,999 for the Rangers.
Shares are split among the 10 postseason teams. In the past, they were divided among the eight playoff teams and the four second-place teams that failed to reach the postseason.

Morning Jolt: Girl hands out $100 bills at school
Staff Writer
Rockford Register Star
In the news
A 12-year-old girl in Taylor, Mich., showed up at school with a backpack full of cash - $20,000, to be exact - and started handing out "large bills, $100 bills," Taylor Police Chief Mary Sclabassi told WPTV. The girl apparently got the backpack from a neighbor's house and wanted to give her classmates some gifts. School officials stopped her and contacted police.

The story and formula of mainline Pokemon games haven't changed much over the years. You set off on an adventure to become the very best trainer in the world, picking one of three starters (grass, fire or water) and catching many, many more to assemble an unstoppable team. We have entered the sixth generation with the recent release of 'Pokemon X' and 'Pokemon Y' for the 3DS, which sold more than 4 million copies worldwide in two days. Fans who've been waiting for Game Freak's first mainline Pokemon titles on the 3DS will not be disappointed. 'X and Y' take place in the France-inspired Kalos region. After saying goodbye to Mom, meeting up with friends and selecting a starter, it's off to the first of eight gyms to win the necessary badges to challenge the Elite Four at the end of the game. Along the way you'll meet up with the games' villains, the bright orange and stylishly dressed Team Flare, who have suspicious intentions. While there are references to past games, story has never been why people play Pokemon. It's all about the creatures. The new Fairy-type is a welcome addition to the series as it balances out the game more evenly, especially against Dragon-types which dominated previously. Along with new Pokemon, older ones like Mr. Mime now have Fairy abilities, switching things up nicely. Mega Evolutions allow specific ones to evolve even further after their last stage, however only during battle. This is done by having them hold certain stones, and evolving gives them stat boosts, mixes their types and unlocks new abilities. As usual, running through tall grass and colorful flowers will activate random encounters with wild Pokemon to capture or defeat. Each section has its common and uncommon appearances. Then there are the challenges from strangers along each path, who cough up money after being defeated. It's a tough life out there. Special encounters keep things fresh, too. Sky Battles take place in the air with only flying types, but can be very challenging if you don't have that many on hand. I wasn't a fan of the horde battles, though, where you fight a group of low-leveled Pokemon all at once. To beat these quickly you'll need an all-area attack, and if you don't have one you could be stuck in it for a while if they paralyze you, lower your attack or launch other negative status effects. They don't appear often, but when they do it's easier to just run away. Key items are obtained early to make playing much less of a grind. Roller skates move your character a little bit faster, although it can be difficult to line up properly to enter a door or talk to someone. The bicycle makes a return to really speed things up. The most controversial item is Exp. Share, which is retrieved early. If turned on, it allows all Pokemon in your party to gain experience points even if they don't appear in battle. When it comes down to it, it has its good and bad parts. The best thing is it eliminates hours of grinding battles in the wild to individually level up your party. I also found myself experimenting with a lot more different types instead of sticking with a few like in past games. The downside is it makes the games much, much easier. With multiple in my party five to 10 levels above wild Pokemon and random strangers, and several above gym leaders – this without any grinding at all – I was blowing past them with little effort. Pokemon can also get their base stats improved by playing soccer mini-games and beating up all kinds of special punching bags. There's even a Nintendogs-like portion called Pokemon-Aime where you play with them to boost your relationship. Online options are very accessible in 'X and Y.' The Player Search System lets you keep track of friends and strangers, which you can easily engage in battle and trade with. Wonder Trade is a cool feature to make blind trades with anyone in the world. It's a great way to fill up the Pokedex. With its fully polygonal 3D graphics, a Pokemon game has never looked better. The world feels much more alive now that the camera zooms in behind your trainer along certain routes and in the big city. Battles have much-needed pizzazz with each attack featuring a quick and exciting animation. Even though the 3D effect during battles puts a beating on the frame rate, it still looks great without it. While the core ideas remain relatively unchanged, the tweaks to gameplay, upgraded visuals and online improvements make this newest set of Pokemon games the best in years. Once you start your latest adventure, it'll be hard to put down. 3 1/2 stars out of 4 Downloadable codes for 'Pokemon X' and 'Pokemon Y' were supplied by the publisher for this review.

Java Special Interest Group
A SIG for people who are interested in improving the state of Java in Fedora. This includes packaging Java libraries and applications, setting and improving standards for packaging them as RPM's and collaboratively managing bigger changes related to Java in Fedora.
There will be informal Java SIG meetings in the #fedora-meeting channel every other
- Tuesday at 17:00 UTC.
For more information about the past and upcoming meetings please see the meetings subpage: Java/Meetings
IRC Channel
Besides the Java SIG meetings there is also existing a freenode channel for developers and users of java in Fedora: #fedora-java
State of Affairs
There have been few big updates and changes to core Java packages recently. Most notably update of Maven to version 2.2.1, rename of jakarta-commons packages to apache-commons (still underway) and most recently update of ant to 1.8.x. All of these changes were mostly organized through bugzilla and wiki pages. This worked out mostly OK, but this could be good place for all tasks related to Java so that everyone can quickly see what is going on.
Current state of Java packaging guidelines is not ideal. They are somewhat outdated and missing few things. See Tasks section for current state of this.
If you would like to help us with packaging Java software, read how to join Fedora packagers or get in touch with us directly and we will guide you through the process.
Guidelines for building Java packages can be found on a separate page.
See Java packaging common problems page for help with common problems while building java packages and how to solve them.
- Create email alias for all java-packages
- Prepare for Maven3 (see MavenUpdate page)
- Update packaging guidelines (there are few drafts spread though wiki)
- Add ability to query java-only package reviews in BZ
- Look after Java and Eclipse release notes: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Documentation_Beats
- Update Java page. Some parts are quite outdated (for example maven part)
- Discuss strategies for completing Java packaging requirements for the AutoQA project (see User:Jlaska/autoqa_package_dependencies) - 2 packages ready for package review (htmlunit, htmlunit-core-js)
- Move tomcat5 deps to tomcat6 ( see TomcatMigration page)
Currently Open Java Package Review Bugs
We generally like to get new Java packages into Fedora as long as they follow our packaging guidelines. Currently there is no simple way to query bugzilla for Java-only package reviews so people interested in java reviews have it a bit harder. Just go through all open package reviews or Java package reviews. The second link can be incomplete, but should contain mosly Java packages.
If you are interested in joining the SIG, please hang out at #fedora-java. If you have provenpackager or sponsor status, please tell us so we might use your help in critical situations :-)

Compared with many other brokers, the trading tools available on the Ashley-Partners-M&A platform are relatively limited. Like all leading brokers, Ashley-Partners-M&A provides customers with a series of account types to meet the different needs of different types of traders, from beginners to professionals. According to the initial investment, it provides a total of 5 account types.
The Forex broker is licensed by the VFSC, but this is not enough to offer financial services or products in the UK or Europe. Therefore, the UK regulator reiterates that investors should only deal with regulated financial companies.
For this reason, at AdonFinance, we have prepared a blacklist of fraudulent brokers to warn traders or investors against such scams. According to reports, some unregulated brokers (such as Ashley-Partners-M&A) deceive people. If you invest in one of these brokers, you have obviously been robbed. You are not allowed to withdraw funds from your account. These are some warning signs for troubled brokers.
This does not mean you are discouraged-in many cases, trading is safe and reliable, but only if you trade with a suitable broker. Some brokers who are not honest will be aggressive towards customers and encourage them to make certain transactions.
You are told that the trader will trade for you and that a regulated broker cannot trade for you. If you receive a call from a specific broker, but you have never registered with him. No broker is found on the Internet. If you can't find a lot of information about the so-called broker, it may be a scam.
If your business is regulated and associated with such advertising, you should not do business with it. Also, these ads are not supported by regulated brokers, so you should stay away from them.
In view of the above, regardless of the trading conditions provided by Ashley-Partners-M&A, we do not recommend that you trade with it as it is unregulated and likely to be a scam. He can cause huge losses to his clients and therefore, in our opinion, is a potential scammer. I would say that this is the most direct access to the market and high liquidity Forex broker.
This is to prevent them from wanting to withdraw their money if they are scammers. Don't assume that Ashley-Partners-M&A is legal just because it had a friendly chatbot that greeted you when you first visited the site, or because the broker paid you a lot of attention in the first few weeks. If you have traded in Ashley-Partners-M&A and think that they have cheated you, you have a chance to get your money back. We do not recommend trading with Ashley-Partners-M&A as this broker was suspected of being a scam.
In general, the FCA advises UK investors not to invest with this broker. However, the Forex broker does not have a compulsory FCA license to do this. Even worse, Ashley-Partners-M&A has been listed on the alert lists by the UK FCA, Australia ASIC and Cyprus CySEC, proving that the broker is not licensed.
There are also no expected spreads and it is impossible to calculate the cost of trading with this broker. The above information is not enough to start trading with Ashley-Partners-M&A. Ashley-Partners-M&A hides most of the trading conditions and raises suspicions.
They pass it off as stockbrokers, Forex, cryptocurrency exchanges, or trading platforms. Some fraudulent brokers restrict clients to their own platform, which may not be a platform at all, but a bogus one. Many proprietary platforms of high-quality brokers can provide a great trading experience.
On the other hand, if the broker no longer provides communication methods such as email, phone, text messaging, and chat, and has a support team that does not seem to understand the trade or is evasively asking certain questions, this could be a sign that a scam is or at least a low-quality broker. Working with an unlicensed broker does not provide protection in the event of broker fraud. Reputable regulated brokers should not do business with such online campaigns/partners.
For example, many fraudulent brokers charge high withdrawal fees that not only cover service fees. Once you invest, they allow you to draw small conclusions to boost your confidence, but in the long run, it will be nearly impossible to get your funds back. Doug Schadel, the lead researcher for the AARP's Fraud Watch Network, said consumers often think they can't be targeted by investment scams because they don't have a lot of money to start with.
This is why it is important to learn more about Ashley-Partners-M&A before opening an account and sending money or submitting any documents. Use this review to guide your trading decisions and also do your due diligence on Ashley-Partners-M&A. Use this review to guide your trading decisions and also do your due diligence on Ashley-Partners-M&A.

Which to select
It is time to pick the winner. What is the difference between AMD Ryzen 5 5600X vs Intel Core i5-11600K? What CPU is more powerful? It is quite easy to determine – look at comparison table. The processor with more cores/ threads and also with higher frequency is the absolute winner!
CPU Cores and Base Frequency
Who will win between AMD Ryzen 5 5600X vs Intel Core i5-11600K. The general performance of a CPU can easily be determined based on the number of its cores and the thread count, as well as the base frequency and Turbo frequency. The more GHz and cores a CPU has, the better. Please note that high technical specs require using a powerful cooling system.
CPU generation and family
Internal Graphics
Some manufacturers complement their CPUs with graphic chips, such a solution being especially popular in laptops. The higher the clock frequency of a GPU is and the bigger its memory, the better. Find a winner - AMD Ryzen 5 5600X vs Intel Core i5-11600K.
Hardware codec support
Here we deal with specs that are used by some CPU manufacturers. These numbers are mainly technical and can be neglected for the purpose of the comparison analysis.
Memory & PCIe
These are memory standards supported by CPUs. The higher such standards, the better a CPU's performance is.
Data encryption support
Memory & AMP; PCIe
Thermal Management
The thermal design power (TDP), sometimes called thermal design point, is the maximum amount of heat generated by a computer chip or component (often a CPU, GPU or system on a chip) that the cooling system in a computer is designed to dissipate under any workload.
Technical details
Devices using this processor
You probably know already what devices use CPUs. These can be a desktop or a laptop.
The latter is used for creation of 3D models and forms. Cinebench R15 is used for single-core processor performance benchmark test. The hyperthreading ability doesn't count. It is the updated version of Cinebench 11.5. As all new versions, the updated benchmark is based on Cinema 4 Suite software
Cinebench R20 is based on Cinema 4 Suite. It is the software used to create 3D forms. The benchmark runs for single-core test procedure without counting of hyperthreading ability.
It is the new version of the benchmark which is developed on the basis of Cinebench R15 (both versions are operated on the basis of Cinema 4 - the most popular 3D modeling software). Cinebench R20 is used for multi-core processor performance benchmark tests and hyperthreading ability.
Cinebench R23 is the newest instalment of the most popular CPU Rendering Benchmark Single-Core Cinebench. We have the Score Results for all modern Processors
Cinebench R23 is the newest instalment of the most popular CPU Rendering Benchmark Multi-Core Cinebench. We have the Score Results for all modern Processors
Geekbench 5, 64bit (Single-Core)
Geekbench 5 benchmark is the newest software suit. Completely new algorithms provide the quite accurate benchmark testing results of the single-core CPU.
Geekbench 5, 64bit (Multi-Core)
Geekbench 5 software suite shows benchmark testing results of the memory performance and speed of the multi-core processor. Here the hyperthreading ability is counted.
Estimated results for PassMark CPU Mark
It tests entire and overall performance of the central processing unit (mathematical calculations, compression and decompression speed, 2D&3D graphic tests). Please note that data can differ from the real-world situations.
Using a Graphics Card (GPU) is the ideal way to mine Monero. While it requires substantially more investment compared to using a CPU, its hash rate is significantly higher

Simply Faithful: Trusting God in the busiest of times
Sometimes it isn't the bad weeks that make my heart race -- it's the busy ones.
The late-night work events. The meeting with the higher-ups. The talk at church. The paperwork piling up at home and pushing against a deadline.
All good things. All things I wanted to do.
Still, I woke up last week feeling nervous and rushed. My drive to work came to almost a complete halt about the time I reached Holy Sepulchre Cemetery and its neighboring road construction. I drummed my fingers and tapped my foot, urging the cars ahead of me to move. I wanted to be really early for work so I could move a few things off my to-do list before my meetings even started for the day. Maybe then I could relax my shoulders a little. Maybe then I could settle into a comfortable pace.
But instead I drove 3 mph and stopped. Then, 5 mph and stopped again across from stone crosses and angels with their wings spread protectively over graves. Some newer cemeteries don't allow for tall statues on headstones. Some even ask that headstones be flat and easy to mow around, but I like the older style with its symbolism, with its reminders that God is with us in death.
That's what I'm thinking while my heart and mind are speeding and my car is idling. I'm thanking God for comfort and protection -- and for angels of all forms that surround us when we're hurting and grieving. And just about the time the traffic clears, so does my mind.
If I can trust God in the worst of times, surely I can trust him in the busiest of times.
If God carried me when Daddy died, then a big meeting is nothing in comparison. If powerful angels spread their wings over us when we're most broken, perhaps they walk alongside us when we're just meandering outside the lines of our comfort zone.
By the time I reached the expressway, it's my car that's going faster and my soul that's more at rest.
MAY I RECOMMEND: If you're looking for a way to renew your spirit, I have a free 7-day email series that starts next week. Just visit www.SimplyFaithful.com by April 22, and slip your email in the box on the right side of the page. I'd love to have you join us.

7 tips to improve your memory
Can't find your car keys? Forget what's on your grocery list? Can't remember the name of the personal trainer you liked at the gym? You're not alone. Everyone forgets things occasionally. Still, memory loss is nothing to take lightly.
Although there are no guarantees when it comes to preventing memory loss or dementia, memory tricks can be helpful. Consider seven simple ways to sharpen your memory — and know when to seek help for memory loss.
1. Stay mentally active
Just as physical activity helps keep your body in shape, mentally stimulating activities help keep your brain in shape — and might keep memory loss at bay. Do crossword puzzles. Read a section of the newspaper that you normally skip. Take alternate routes when driving. Learn to play a musical instrument. Volunteer at a local school or community organization.
2. Socialize regularly
Social interaction helps ward off depression and stress, both of which can contribute to memory loss. Look for opportunities to get together with loved ones, friends and others — especially if you live alone. When you're invited to share a meal or attend an event, go!
3. Get organized
You're more likely to forget things if your home is cluttered and your notes are in disarray. Jot down tasks, appointments and other events in a special notebook, calendar or electronic planner. You might even repeat each entry out loud as you jot it down to help cement it in your memory. Keep to-do lists current and check off items you've completed. Set aside a certain place for your wallet, keys and other essentials.
Limit distractions and don't try to do too many things at once. If you focus on the information that you're trying to remember, you'll be more likely to recall it later. It might also help to connect what you're trying to remember to a favorite song or another familiar concept.
4. Sleep well
Sleep plays an important role in helping you consolidate your memories, so you can recall them down the road. Make getting enough sleep a priority. Most adults need seven to eight hours of sleep a day.

Starting October 16, 2012, I'm teaching the Introduction to WordPress at Clark College Corporate and Continuing Education in Vancouver, Washington. This is the course many of you have been waiting for – affordable and covering the basics you need to know about WordPress.
The CTEC 280 Clark College WordPress Introduction course continues as a four credit course. This is the college level course for WordPress users wanting to learn how WordPress works and how to use it better for half the price and no degree credits or college registration required.
Clark College Corporate and Continuing Education
The Introduction to WordPress
6-8PM October 16 – December 6
Columbia Tech Center in Vancouver, Washington
$299 Item # F257
Register: Online or call (360) 992-2939
The Clark College Corporate and Continuing Education program, The Introduction to WordPress, is a slightly scaled down version of the full credit course. It is a thirty hour course designed for anyone looking to learn how to use WordPress for a personal or business website. It covers the basics on how to use the WordPress platform including installation, content management, configuration, SEO, and user experience strategies. The course also covers more advanced areas including WordPress Themes, Plugins, and advanced settings. No prerequisites are required, though familiarity with web browsers and web pages in general is highly recommended.
The Clark College CTEC 280 WordPress Introduction course will be offered Winter Quarter. If you are interested in the course as part of a degree or business education course, contact Reesa McAllister, CTEC offices, at 360-992-2456 to learn how to register and/or get on the waiting list for the class announcement.
A student familiar with how WordPress worked kept saying during one of the courses, "I didn't know WordPress could do that!" Leiulf, a student from my first WordPress college course, described his experience this way:
Took this course in Fall 2011 just to learn the architecture, nooooo way I was going to blog! I am now posting almost daily, have 63 followers and average between 100-300 hits a day. I strongly urge you to take this class…you won't regret it.
What's the Difference Between the Two Courses?
The Continuing Education WordPress course is designed for anyone wishing to learn more about WordPress. CTEC 280 is designed for those on the education path in web development, web design, web programing, journalism, writing, business, etc.
The college course focuses on not just how to use WordPress but the underlying technologies and code, digging deeper into content management, customization, code, WordPress Themes, and configuration. It is about developing sites for clients as well as individuals. Involvement in the WordPress community through support, contribution, and WordPress Meetups is emphasized deeply throughout the course.
The continuing education course focuses on content management, organization, and development, as well as basic configuration and customization. It digs in lightly to WordPress Themes exploring how they work and Child Themes, and how WordPress Plugins extend the features and capabilities of a site. The focus of the course is to help individuals with their specific needs for themselves or their businesses.
Both courses require the student to create their own site from scratch and customize it. They also include a final team project where students work together to create a professional site, putting into practice everything they've learned during the course – a fantastic learning experience.
I'm in the process of developing WordPress II for Clark College, the next level course in WordPress development and programming focusing on WordPress customization, WordPress Themes, and WordPress Plugins. Either of these introduction courses would meet the prerequisite requirements, along with PHP, HTML, and CSS, for this course. Stay tuned for announcements.

The European Commission's main authentication service (ECAS) has gone through a major redesign phase to make it more user-friendly. More than a new look and feel, its name also changed to "EU Login".
Here is some information to help you adapt to this update.
Why "EU Login"?
"EU Login" is an explicit name that can easily be understood across all our supported languages.
Do I have to change anything?
If you already have an ECAS account, you don't have to do anything.
In EU Login, your credentials and personal data remain unchanged. You can still access the same services and applications as before.
You just need to use your e-mail address for logging in.
How is it easier than before?
Previously, the first time you used ECAS, you had to indicate your domain of origin via the page "Where are you from?".
Now, with EU Login, you no longer need that extra step. Your domain of origin is determined from your e-mail address.
All that remains is to choose your preferred type of identification (by default, your e-mail address and password).
Are there any new functionalities?
With EU Login, you can also log in with your social media account (Facebook, Twitter or Google+).
This option will not be available immediately for existing systems, but will be added gradually.
Be aware that some services might require you to authenticate with additional levels of clearance.
For example, European Commission employees may not be able to access several in-house services if they authenticate with their personal Twitter account (instead of their usual European Commission credentials).
This is why, if you already have an existing ECAS account, we recommend that you keep using that same account as if nothing had changed.
I'm stuck / don't know what to do / am experiencing a problem, who should I get in touch with?
Please follow the instructions provided in the Contact page.

The name of this blog, which is probably why you are here, is the Setswana translation of the ubuntu precept, that "a person is a person because of ubuntu."
I have been a Linux user since 2005 (and perhaps even before that), and maintained this site as a personal record of my experiences for almost as long.
I'm primarily preoccupied with using Linux to invigorate older hardware — term which, as I have learned over time, is terribly relative. But some of the lessons I've learned on putting antique computers back into daily use could apply to ultralight or embedded machines — and possibly even mobile devices as well.
So there may be a nugget of wisdom for modern hardware, here or there.
If you have a question or a suggestion, or if you just want to swap war stories about archaic hardware or the good old days of Ubuntu, feel free to e-mail me with the contact form below.
Cheers! 😀
